FARM

A PLANK floor with many one-inch
hoes bored through itand with ventila-
tors communicating with the space
under the floor, by which cool, dry ali
a be supplied, Is far better than au
earth floor for storing potatoes during
winter. Boxes holding a bushel llSx
l5xI0 inches, and made to sit n upon
the otherl are the most convenient for
gathering and carrying the potatoes 10.
These may be made with barred sides
and bottoms, and will then hold no soil,
and when piled mp in cellar or root
house afford some ventilation between
them. The measurement Of the boxes
is arrived at thus: A bnshel is 2.1jO
cubic inches; a heaped bushel is One-
fourth more; that is, 1t farms a cone as
high above level as half the depth OF
the bushel, which is equal to a fourth
OF the capacity of the struck bushel.
Hence a heaped bushel is 2,6S7 cubic
inches, and 1Sxl5x10 is 200 inches.
/ have used Slated hurdles fastened to-
gether with hooks and staples at the
corners, and standing 4 feet high, for
making bins. These should not be
more than 6 feet long and the end ones
4 feet, making nearly 100 cubic feet OF
about sixty bushels in each bin. -Four
inches space should be left between the
bins aud the wall and each other
SO that abundant air circulate through
the whole. the temperature OF a
rCot-cellar should be no more than
40 degrees. If it should fall below
that, a very slight accident would en-
danger freezing, and it is much easier
to cool the cellar it it be too warm
than to warm it if it gets too cold.

a Japanese EIower Show.

The chrysanthemum is the japanese
national flower, and is so esteemed
that the Mikado has created an Order
Of the ChrySanthemum, which he be-
slows upon men of distinction at home
and abroad. Recently there was an
exhibition of ehrysanthemums at the
Mikado's palace.
AT the door of the imperial gardens,
a servant Respondent III gilt robes, in
spected ones card of admission carefully
and pointed out the direction of the
pavilion where the flowers were on eXhl-
bition. The imperial garden has many
winding paths with little streams over
hung by shady bamboos, aud lakes
where, in the spring, magnificent lotus
flowers are in bloom; but nothing is i'll
order here. Beyond were the large
tents under which the flowers were
shown; and here we found all the fur
nishings to be European, with easy
chairs, canopies and carpets. military
Tband played airs that were familiar to
us. The japanese officers wore their
most brilliant uniforms, of European
| style, for the Emperor and Empress
were expected. The civil functionaries
were dressed, too, in European black
| coats, and carried tall hats.
"The japanese ladies were almost all
dressed in European costume. a few,
indeed, had preserved the picturesque
national costume, and this seemed to me
to prove their patriotism to be of a
strong type; for when the Empress az
rived, which she did presently, she was
! dressed in a magnificent crimson dress
Of the latest Partisan style. She is a
woman of elegant appearance and great
distinction OF manner
"The Emperor was in the uniform
of tho Guard, which is neither
very handsome nor very military.
His face was Impassive. He re-
sponded with but the slightest move
ment of the head TO the profound bows
that were made to him.
"The chrysanthemsum by their size
and the variety of their colors, proved
to be real wonders, and well worthy OF
the preference which the Japanese give
them over all other flowers. Under one
tent, and as if they were excluded from
the competition because nothing could
compete with them, there were three
specimens bearing respectively II hun
bred and fifty-fiye, n hundred and
seventy three, and three hundred and
thirty-three separate stems in full bloom
1.-THE romance of this strange eXhibi
ton was to us strangely marrad by the
presence everywhere of the tall silk hats
which the Japanese have borrowed from
us, and which become them very badly

The common assertion that brass
cannot be tempered is met by a writer
with a statement covering his own ex-
psrience during a long period. Brass,
he asserts, not bard by mixture, but by
compression, either rolling, hammering,
wire drawing, or any other process
which congresses the particles of met
al, can be and is tempered regularly,
just as easily and ia the same manner
as in ~tempering an equal piece of hard
ened steel, namely, by heat; that is, by
placing a small piece of polished steel
on the brass object to be tempered, and
applying the heat 30 as to effect equally
the brass and steel, the temper OF the
brass will be made known by the color
Of the steel, and, consequently, brass
may by this process be- tempered in
exact proportion to every shade of color
OF the stoeL.

DESTROYING QUACK GRAss.-It
requires more labor in digging and cul-
tiyatlBg to destroy quack grass in a
single season than most people are will
ing to give. Digging out every root
will do the businss, but the roots run
deeply, and 1t is almost impossible to
get all. Smothering is an easier
remedy, and for a small patch, mor
certainly successful. Cover the piece
a little beyond the outside of the patch
with straw to the depth of two feet.
Watch this through the summer
and should any plants appear outside
the patch, cover them TO the same
depth. One season with this treatment
is effectual. Where large fields are
overrun by quacS, entirely killing is
scarcely to be hoped for In one season,
unless the field Is free from stones and
trees and the quack does not extend
into the fences. By blowing deeply
early many Of the quack roots will be
turned to the surface, where they may
be raked into windows and burned
during the heat of summer Land
this summer fallowed will give an
Immense crop of wheat, and the quack
will be little trouble for a number of
years thereafter. We have never
known a large field of quack TO be so
killed In one season. Some roots will
escape but the pest may be reduced to
a few small patches, and these subdued
by smothering with Stra W.

DR.. Bishops, Of Chicago, In the hrst
prize essay OF the United states nay
Fever Association Of 1887, writes as

solution, applied with a camel's mar
brush, gives speedy relief. The patient
should never omit clearing the mem

may last several hours, but repeated
applications may be necessary to keep
up continuous insenslbility of the mem

ever, it should be known that some per-
sons possess an idiosyncrasy which for
bids the use of cocaine. The primary
action may produce an@sthesla and

but the bloodyessels may become dllated

their normal calIbre. as they do in most
cases. This condition of secondary

to be few who are so distressed by this

ONIONS CULTURE.-In a bulletin
DR.. Sturtevent gives the following ex-
pertinent: 1.-The soil was thoroughly
pulverized wei a small plat of ground
and on an adjoining plat Of equal size
the ground was packed as hard as posi-
bic by repeatedly pounding 1T with a
heavy maui. The surface Of both
plats was then covered with finely pull
verlzed soil to the depth of half an
inch, and. on June 3, three COWS on
each plat were planted with seed of the
large red Weathersield onion. Late
planting was disadvantageous to the
yield, but the three rows on the CON-
pacted soil yielded nine pounds seven
nee of mercbantable bulbs, while
the three rows on the pulyerized soil
yielded but three pounds three ounces.
The percentage of vegetation In the
two plats was not noticeably different,
although the vegetation was prompter
IN the compact soil.

that honey can be had and how persis-
tent they are. l have sometimes
